It is very sad to be there and see what the kids have been through and it is also very sad to know a lot of the so called workers who were there to help them were picked straight off the street and were in my oppinion- thugs. It is very eye opening to be in their world and it takes a lot to advocate for them in al situations. I would not change any experinces that I have had with the kids. They were looking for love and support and I offered it freely. Kids need respect. They are important. It sucks that parents can be so cruel, and then when they are removed from them, they are potentially placed in another awful situation.<BR/>For me it has taught me patience with my own children, respect for them that they need to be heard even when in the hardest moments when I feel like I can't take it, and laughter..because it can and will change any situation for the better.<BR/>You dad sounds like a cool guy.After Hourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15447195504918976684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819554942634451158.post-17958592300135965372008-08-12T09:33:00.000-07:002008-08-12T09:33:00.000-07:00That is so sad.
